During the Cannes Film Festival, the Côte d’Azur transforms into a hub of luxury with superyachts, helicopter routes, and exclusive parties. Here's how to enjoy the region beyond the Croisette.
By Land: Cruise the Corniches
Experience the romance of the Côte d’Azur by driving the three Corniches, the coastal roads connecting Nice to Menton. In a vintage convertible from Classic Drivers, this route takes you through towns like Èze and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean.
By Air: Riviera Helicopter Tours
Helicopters from Blade offer 20-minute flights connecting Cannes to glamorous destinations. Visit Airelles Saint-Tropez for a luxurious beachside experience or fly east to Monaco for a taste of high society at Café de Paris Monte-Carlo.
By Sea: Yachting Along the Côte d’Azur
Yachts serve as floating private clubs during the festival, offering a unique view of Cannes. Arthaud Yachting facilitates these experiences, with serene escapes to the Lérins Islands for rosé lunches and vineyard tastings on Saint-Honorat.
Daytime Elegance: Beach Clubs
The Croisette becomes a stretch of beach clubs. Plage du Martinez offers old Hollywood charm with striped loungers and rosé, while La Môme Plage channels 1950s Riviera glamour. Ciro’s Cannes serves bouillabaisse and cocktails at the Majestic's beach.
Nightlife: Palm Beach Cannes
Reimagined in 2024, Palm Beach Cannes is the nightlife center during the festival. Raspoutine Cannes at FLASH, designed by Hugo Toro, offers a speakeasy vibe. Meanwhile, KLUB Cannes hosts performances by top DJs, and Medusa provides cabaret and late-night dining.
